Robotics team proves school’s prowess in STEM

It seems only fitting that Purdue Polytechnic High Schools’ FIRST robotics team is named SuPURDUEper. The team proved to be super-achievers and lived up to the Purdue name entering the state competition in 2019 with the momentum of two district championships and making it all the way to the national tournament.

It’s a remarkable accomplishment for a group of 15 sophomores in their inaugural season of competition. 

The national FIRST Robotics Competition challenges teams to design and build robots to complete a task. The task for the 2019 team was to have the robots retrieve balls and carry and place them in a container. Another part of the competition had the robots climbing steps, the latter of which SuPURDUEper excelled. 

Team adviser Andy Mundell and the team garnered the Rookie Inspiration Award during the competition and have a team eager to compete again next year.

“We get the benefit of not losing anyone next year,” Mundell said. “We made the resolution this year to learn as much as we can at state, soak it all in, and get back there next year.”
